There would be many perspectives. Some make it, some cannot make it. You want listen to which one?

Guys. How much is considered high working in SG?

I believe there is some difference between how much fresh grad is getting paid in Msia and SG.

Let's say, if you have 1.5 years experience, Msia offering RM4800, SG offering (3600, no cpf so +632 = total 4232sgd), which one to go for?

malaysia = IT operations work, permanent staff
SG =  SAP implementation work, permanent staff + chance to travel.

Compensation wise is pretty clear cut isn't it...

Do all companies pay CPF for non PR staff? More specifically, do accounting firms do that?

The CPF portion would help so much in terms of rental.

Now I'm not sure of that, I saw it in the offer letter and I assume that as Non-PR will not get CPF anymore (under Singapore law), so by law too, they have to pay the CPF portion and this extends to all other companies as well. Googling turns out nothing.

Most companies do not pay the cpf portion (in cash) to non pr. However last I heard is big 4 do give non pr the additional 17% in cash. Not sure about smaller accounting firms

PR must be renew every 5 years - it is just like you r driving license , you still hold the same driving license just that your eligibility on the road extends another 3- 5 years.

It's actually your Re-Entry Permit that needs to be renewed every 5 years. Not your PR... which is evergreen, as long as you don't leave Singapore without a valid Re-Entry Permit (REP).

As for the "basic T&C" to renew REPs,... with eREP (instant online renewal), I'm not so sure that each REP renewal is scrutinised anymore.

It still does, pre-scrutinised in the e-system.

PR PMEs get higher monthly income than Singapore citizens: Manpower Minister

SINGAPORE: The gross monthly income of full-timed employed residents who are professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) is higher compared to Singaporean citizens, said Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin in Parliament on Monday (Jan 19).

"As compared to Singaporean PMEs, the gross monthly income of resident PMEs is higher since Permanent Residents typically have to display good employability before they are granted residency," Mr Tan said, in reply to a Parliamentary question from MP Patrick Tay Teck Guan.

For instance, the gross monthly income for PRs and Singapore citizens for the 50th percentile is S$7,018 and S$6,886, respectively, according to data from the Manpower Ministry.

Well, at least their countries are promoting competition and won't use this report to force companies to reduce PR's income.
